blazing fast internet with unlimited dataespecially true for mobile users. Do not add a widget tag to any of the specially named passages and attempt to define your widgets there. See the :passagestart event for its replacement. All changes within this version are elective changes that you may address at your leisure. Doing so allows interactions with the text to also trigger its <>. Global event triggered as the first step in closing the dialog when Dialog.close() is called. It is further strongly suggested that you provide that same custom user namespace when removing them. Making custom non-generic object types fully compatible requires that two methods be added to their prototype, .clone() and .toJSON(), to support cloningi.e., deep copyinginstances of the type. Config.macros.typeSkipKey, Config.macros.typeVisitedPassages, <> Events. An asterisk (*) or number sign (#) that begins a line defines a member of the unordered or ordered list markup, respectively. Returns the bundled metadata, if any, or null if the given save could not be deserialized and loaded. Note: The typed text has no default styling. See the Save.onSave.add() method for its replacement. The :not() group modifier syntax (groupId:not(trackIdList)) allows a group to have some of its tracks excluded from selection. The story metadata, like saves, is tied to the specific story it was generated with. Examples of good uses: achievement tracking, new game+ data, playthrough statistics, etc. See Macro API for more information. Returns the number of currently registered on-save handlers. Returns whether playback of the playlist has been paused. Returns a reference to the current AudioRunner instance for chaining. An array of strings, which causes the autosave to be updated for each passage with at least one matching tag. Deprecated: Twine2: Not special. Determines whether outgoing passage transitions are enabled. Instances of the Passage object are returned by the Story.get() static method. The Config.audio.pauseOnFadeToZero setting (default: true) determines whether the audio subsystem automatically pauses tracks that have been faded to 0 volume (silent). It is passed an abbreviated version of the associated passage's Passage instancecontaining only the tags, text, and title properties. Periods of ellipsis () signify data that is generated at compile time. Only the primitives, generic objects, some JavaScript natives (specifically: Array, Date, Map, RegExp, and Set), and DOM node objects are supported by default. May be called with, optional, link text or with a link or image markup. Note: To avoid this problem, it's suggested that you use the separate argument form of the <> macro in Twine2as shown above. Unsets story $variables and temporary _variables. Displays the loading screen, if necessary. See the Save API docs for more information. To delete all current watches, click the button. For more details you might want to see my "Arrays vs Generic Objects" article (part of the help file for my "Universal Inventory System" for Twine/SugarCube, or "UInv" for short). When used to set the loop state, returns a reference to the current AudioList instance for chaining. Removes event handlers from the selected tracks. Note: The story history contains moments (states) created during play. You will, in all likelihood, use expressions most often within macrose.g., <>, <>, <>, <>. SugarCube. older versions of Twine2 used a icon for the same purpose. Alias for jQuery, by default. Gets or sets the track's repeating playback state (default: false). This series is intended for. In most cases of using variables in Twine, you will want to first "set" some value and then, at some later point, conditionally act from testing the value. Terminates the execution of the current <>. Only when manually modifying the values of settings object properties, outside of the controls, would you need to call this method. The controls of the Settings dialog automatically call this method when settings are changed, so you should normally never need to call this method manually. You can use custom style markup or HTML to create the elements, and then target them with a query selector. Track event triggered when playback is stopped after .stop() or .stop() is calledeither manually or as part of another process. In your menu passages, your long return links will simply reference the $return story variable, like so: Warning (Twine2): Attaches event handlers to the track. All of the specified callbacks are invoked as the wrapper is invokedmeaning, with their this set to the this of the wrapper and with whatever parameters were passed to the wrapper. If you wish to use custom backgrounds, either simply colors or with images, then you should place them on the body element. Repeatedly executes its contents after the given delay, inserting any output into the passage in its place. Starts playback of the selected tracks and fades them from the specified volume level to 0 (silent) over the specified number of seconds. Returns whether enough data has been loaded to play the track through to the end without interruption. Moves forward one moment within the full history (past + future), if possible, activating and showing the moment moved to. Does not flag other assignment operators. Returns whether fullscreen is both supported and enabled. Sets the maximum number of states (moments) to which the history is allowed to grow. > Title says it all. Returns the topmost (most recent) moment from the full in-play history (past + future). depending on the age of your browser, you may also see a list of all current variables when interacting with the Add field. Tip: Not everyone has Terminates the execution of the current iteration of the current <> and begins execution of the next iteration. Sometimes there are breaking changes, however, and these must be addressed immediately. See Guide: Media Passages for more information. Returns a save object from the given slot or null, if there was no save in the given slot. Groups are useful for applying actions to multiple tracks simultaneously and/or excluding the included tracks from a larger set when applying actions. Note: Each value in an array is assigned an index, which is a number that corresponds to the position of that item or element. Returns whether an audio group with the given group ID exists. Note: Harlowe has stricter typing than SugarCube, requiring authors to call macros like (str:) or (num:) on variables to change their type. Essentially, a combination of <> and <>. In general, look to the .random() method instead. The exactly equivalent call is: .flat(Infinity). A set of four hyphen/minus characters (-) that begins a line defines the horizontal rule markup. Returns whether a fade is in-progress on the track. Unsupported object types, either native or custom, can be made compatible by implementing .clone() and .toJSON() methods for themsee the Non-generic object types (a.k.a. For example, the following will not work because the macro parser will think that you're passing five discrete arguments, rather than a single expression: You could solve the problem by using a temporary variable to hold the result of the expression, then pass that to the macro. Navigating back to a previous passage, for whatever reason, can be problematic. Note: Pauses playback of the track and, if it's not already in the process of loading, forces it to drop any existing data and begin loading. All these instructions are based on the SugarCube story format. The following types of values are natively supported by SugarCube and may be safely used within story and temporary variables. Used to populate the authorial byline area in the UI bar (element ID: story-author). When you have a situation where you're using a set of passages as some kind of menu/inventory/etc and it's possible for the player to interact with several of those passages, or even simply the same one multiple times, then returning them to the passage they were at before entering the menu can be problematic as they're possibly several passages removed from that originating passagethus, the <> macro and link constructs like [[Return|previous()]] will not work. Thus, all volume adjustments are ignored by the device, though muting should work normally. Returns whether a playlist with the given list ID exists. If no autosave exists, then the starting passage is rendered. A list definition object should have some of the following properties: Adds the named property to the settings object and a range control for it to the Settings dialog. classesare instantiable objects whose own prototype is not Objecte.g., Array is a native non-generic object type. If you want to set a title for display that contains code, markup, or macros, see the StoryDisplayTitle special passage. Returns whether the given member was found within the array, starting the search at position. Block widgets may access the contents they enclose via the _contents special variable. Sets the story's subtitle in the UI bar (element ID: story-subtitle). ended and pause for information on somewhat similar native events. You will also need some CSS styles to make this workexamples given below. Creates a checkbox, used to modify the value of the variable with the given name. Returns a reference to the Dialog object for chaining. There are two main presentation formats for Twine 2.0 texts: Harlowe and Sugarcube. Additionally, SugarCube's normal <> macro does not have an output element associated with it and is not, by default, a single-use link like its Harlowe equivalent. For the template that should be used as the basis of localizations, see the locale/l10n-template.js file @github.com. Note: Unfortunately, this means that the two objects are incompatible. Returns a new array filled with all Passage objects that contain the given property, whose value matches the given search value, or an empty array, if no matches are made. Note: Updates all sections of the UI bar that are populated by special passagese.g., StoryBanner, StoryCaption, StoryMenu, etc. Shorthand for jQuery's .off() method applied to each of the audio elements. Gets or sets the playlist's repeating playback state (default: false). Stops playback of the playlist and forces its tracks to drop any existing data. These instances will be noted. Request that the browser toggle fullscreen modei.e., enter or exit as appropriate. Returns whether the history navigation was successful (should only fail if the offset from the active (present) moment is not within the bounds of the full history). Essentially, a combination of <> and <>. Concatenates one or more unique members to the end of the base array and returns the result as a new array. For example, the following will give you a basic crossfade: Determines whether the autosave, if it exists, is automatically loaded upon story startup. Now, load the saved story from before the changes were made, and you'll see $y is undefined, since it doesn't exist at all in the loaded state. Returns whether the history navigation was successful (should only fail if the index is not within the bounds of the full history). NOTE: You do not call this manually, it must be called by the change event handler of an element. All created passage elements will be children of this element. The sigil must be a dollar sign ($) for story variables or an underscore (_) for temporary variables. Or, if you use the start passage as real part of your story and allow the player to reenter it, rather than just as the initial landing/cover page, then you may wish to only disallow saving on the start passage the very first time it's displayedi.e., at story startup. Controls the playback of the playlist, which must be set up via <>the deprecated <> may be used instead, though it is not recommended. Tip: Elements that include either a data-init-passage or data-passage content attribute should not themselves contain additional elementssince such elements' contents are replaced each turn via their associated passage, any child elements would be lost. Outputs a string representation of the result of the given expression. Returns whether the UI bar is currently stowed. See Also: Removes the audio group with the given ID. If necessary, you may also use multiple tags by switching from .includes() to .includesAny() in the above example. SimpleAudio API, AudioTrack API, and AudioRunner API. The story's title is part of the story project. Gets or sets the playlist's randomly shuffled playback state (default: false). Determines whether the audio subsystem automatically pauses tracks that have been faded to 0 volume (silent). To enable test mode, use the test option (-t, --test). Resets the setting with the given name to its default value. Intended to be mnemonically better for uses where the expression is arbitrary code, rather than variables to seti.e., <> to run code, <> to set variables. Note: Releases the loading screen lock with the given ID. Finally, one of three things happen (in order): the existing playthrough session is restored, if it exists, else the autosave is loaded, if it exists and is configured to do so, else the starting passage is run. Documentation, downloads, and the like can be found within each section. The core of what it does is simply to wrap a call to Dialog.open() within a call to .ariaClick(), which can be done directly and with greater flexibility. Determines whether the UI bar (sidebar) starts in the stowed (shut) state initially. Note: There are several configuration settings for saves that it would be wise for you to familiarize yourself with. By default, it simply returns non-deterministic results from Math.random(), however, when the seedable PRNG has been enabled, via State.prng.init(), it returns deterministic results from the seeded PRNG instead. Unsupported object types, either native or custom, will need to implement .clone() method to be properly supported by the clone() functionwhen called on such an object, it will simply defer to the local method; see the Non-generic object types (a.k.a. Before beginning, make sure that your Twine game is set up for the SugarCube format. 3 4 4 comments Best Add a Comment ChapelR 4 yr. ago When SugarCube is reloaded by the browser, it checks if a playthrough session exists and loads it to prevent any inadvertent loss of progress. Note: Returns whether the seedable PRNG has been enabled. This is only really useful within pure JavaScript code, as within TwineScript you may simply access temporary variables natively. Starts playback of the playlist and fades the currently playing track between the specified starting and destination volume levels over the specified number of seconds. Warning: Returns whether playback of the playlist has ended. Sets the selected tracks' volume level (default: 1). private browsing modes do interfere with this. The Config API serves the same basic purpose. Returns the array of track IDs with the given group ID, or null on failure. Note: Does not modify the original. The history allows players to navigate through these moments. Create a new passage, which will only be used as a media passageone per media source. Returns the playlist's total playtime in seconds, Infinity if it contains any streams, or NaN if no metadata exists. Anyways, I wouldn't worry too much about maps or sets, but generic objects can be pretty useful, so I'd recommend understanding them. Returns whether a fade is in-progress on the currently playing track. Calling the State.prng.init() methodformerly History.initPRNG()outside of story initialization will now throw an error. Outputs a string representation of the result of the given expression. Harlowe's arrays, datamaps, and datasets are functionally similar to JavaScript Arrays, Maps, and Sets, but with a few key differences. Silently executes its contents when the incoming passage is done rendering and has been added to the page. Concatenates one or more members to the end of the base array and returns the result as a new array. Use of this macro is only necessary when you need to localize a variable's value for use with an asynchronous macroi.e., a macro whose contents are executed at some later time, rather than when it's invoked; e.g., interactive macros, <>, <>. Starts playback of the selected tracks and fades them from the specified volume level to 1 (loudest) over the specified number of seconds. In that case, unless you need to dynamically determine the destination passage within the <> body, <> is unnecessary as <> already includes the ability to forward the player. If necessary, however, you may manually change their valuesn.b. It would probably help if you were more specific as to your goal. In mobile browsers and, more recently, most desktop browsers, playback must be initiated by the playergenerally via click/touch. URL: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/tmedwards/sugarcube-2/dist/format.js. Passage display. This macro is functionally identical to <>, save that it uses a button element (
